‘Answer in front of God and country’: GOP turns on Lutnick over chips
Politico reports that more than half a dozen Republicans demanded answers and possible testimony from Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick after reports the department failed to act on Megaspeed, the Singapore firm at the center of spying and chip-smuggling allegations tied to Nvidia. Lawmakers including Sen. John Kennedy and Reps. Moolenaar and Mast also want briefings on Chinese influence over Nvidia, while the outlet reports the scandal could make Lutnick the administration's scapegoat.
